Jewellery Care Tips

Jewellery Care at Nara

Jewellery is meant to be worn and enjoyed, but it also needs care to maintain its finish and longevity. At Nara, every piece is thoughtfully crafted, and with the right care, it can remain beautiful for years. This guide explains how to look after your jewellery, so it ages well and stays a part of your everyday life.

How Jewellery Reacts to Wear

Jewellery comes in regular contact with skin, air, moisture, and the products we use daily. Over time, these elements can affect the surface, colour, and shine of metals and stones. Natural wear is expected, but mindful habits help slow down tarnishing, scratches, and dullness.

Understanding how jewellery reacts to its environment helps you make better choices while wearing and storing it.

Wearing Your Jewellery

Small habits during daily wear can make a noticeable difference.

• Put on jewellery after applying makeup, perfume, lotions, or hair products. These products contain chemicals that can affect the metal and finish.

• Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Water, sweat and friction can weaken clasps and cause surface damage.

• Avoid wearing jewellery during heavy physical activity or while handling household chemicals.

• Handle pieces gently and avoid bending, pulling or layering pieces that may rub against each other.

   

Storing Your Jewellery

Proper storage protects jewellery when it is not being worn.

• Store each piece separately to prevent scratches and tangling. Soft fabric pouches or a lined jewellery box work best.

• Keep jewellery in a dry place away from humidity and direct sunlight. Moisture can speed up tarnishing.

• Make sure jewellery is completely dry before storing it.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Nara Jewellery pieces do not require frequent or harsh cleaning.

• After wearing, gently wipe each piece with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and residue.

• Avoid chemical cleaners, polishing liquids, or abrasive materials unless specifically recommended.

• For occasional deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush only if suitable for the material. Rinse carefully and dry thoroughly before storing.

• Over-cleaning can wear down finishes faster than regular use.

Tarnishing and Ageing

Tarnishing is a natural process for certain metals and does not mean the jewellery is damaged. It occurs due to exposure to air and moisture.

With regular care and proper storage, tarnish can be minimised, and jewellery can be refreshed when needed.
